My recent visit to Zimbabwe

 The journey was well planned and it took us less than 10 hours to reach our destination from Pretoria South Africa to Mvuma central Zimbabwe.  A lot of construction is happening on the roads. Harare to Masvingo Highway is complete and the remaining part which was left between Beitbridge and Masvingo is being completed.  Surely by December it should be done. Though there is a lot of money being miss used, there are elements of success. Harare to Beitbridge road was a death trap, the road had so many potholes, had no shoulder no fencing to protect  animals from entering the road and some parts even worn out that left it narrow in a way that two trucks cannot pass without one having to go out of the road.  Those improvements form part of the new Government's transformation policy. There is job creation and slowly improving the standards which has been declining for more that 20 to 30 years. Surely Rome was not built over night. At the border you can see significan...

The currency woes that have plagued the people of that country and its government a decade ago, have reared their menacing head once more. And not for the first time. They come as seasons and arrive with the wr...

Zimbabwe: ED Must Beware of Flattering Chiwenga, Says Mafume

By Anna Chibamu MDC spokesperson Jacob Mafume says Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's weekend vows opposition leader Nelson Chamisa would never rule Zimbabwe at the expense of President Emmerson Mnangagwa were signs of the VP's own ambitions to dislodge his boss from the lofty job. Addressing Zanu PF followers during President Mnangagwa's "thank you" rally in Zvimba on Saturday, Chiwenga savaged Chamisa, describing the Apostolic Faith Mission pastor as a false prophet and a "little bishop". "In all the coming elections, no one is going to remove Shumba Murambwi (President Mnangagwa)," he said. "We are here until he feels it is the time to go and when we have fully restored our country to its former glory and when everything is in order. No one must dream of being the President." Chiwenga added, "Politics of child's play will not help us in any way. Shumba Murambwi is there to stay because he is an anointed...
